Erasmus Hall's Wayne Morgan discusses his team's huge win over Tottenville and many other topics in his bi-weekly diary.An Rong Xu

Every other week during the football season, Erasmus Hall star senior quarterback/safety Wayne Morgan, the most highly touted football player in New York City, takes us into his life and times. In this exclusive NYPost.com diary, Morgan, ranked in the top 150 in the country by scouting services, details everything from practices and games to recruiting, as told to Marc Raimondi.

We all knew we were the underdogs in the game against Tottenville on Sunday. If I was an outsider, I probably wouldn’t think we would’ve won that game either.

But we just prepared real well in practice. That was a big win for us. We just had to bounce back. That game did a lot. That was basically a statement game to show that we could beat anybody on any day.

I think we played harder because Tottenville is like our rivals. We lost to them twice two years ago when I was a sophomore, once in the semifinals. In the first game, I hurt my wrist – somebody stepped on it – and I couldn’t really throw great the rest of the season.

I really don’t know what happened against Clinton two weeks ago (a 30-8 loss). I mostly blame it on the field. I couldn’t really run on offense on that muddy field. I think the cleats I had on weren’t good. We weren’t used to it. On defense, we were misaligned.

We’re going back to Clinton on Sunday to play Lehman. We’ll be ready for the field this time. We’ll be ready to handle it. I bought new cleats just for that field.

Lehman has a really good running back (David White), but we just gotta tackle him. That’s all. It’s not like we haven’t been up against good backs. We’ve been up against good backs already.

The one thing we can’t do it play down to our opponents level. I don’t know why we do that sometimes. We could have even put more points on Tottenville. We were inside the 20 twice and didn’t score.

It was a fun game, though. Me and (Tottenville receiver) Alvin Cornelius were going back and forth, talking. He’s a good receiver. I know him. We’re not really close, but we talk here and there. We were actually talking during the game. He was telling me about Syracuse (where he’ll play next year) and about how a lot of city kids are going there. During the game we were talking about it.

Syracuse is still on my list, but I haven’t talked to many college coaches lately. I lost my cell phone so I haven’t been in touch with anyone unless they e-mail me or hit me up on Facebook.

Sorry this diary was a day late. I had three essays to write last night (Tuesday) and I have to do another one tonight (Wednesday). One was for Spanish, another one was for English. And I still have to do college essays. I have to make sure I take care of school work, too.

Check back with Wayne Morgan every other Wednesday during the season. His next diary will run Oct. 19.
